LIVE: Stocks Trade Firm And Steady In A Rangebound Session | Metals & Industrials Rise | CNBC TV18

    2 340 level again these are very close
    by so you know that’s a 20-day moving
    average the other one I’m looking at is
    moile yesterday the metal index took at
    took a bit of a Brea them but moil was
    one of the big moving stocks in trade
    and the volumes are the highest we have
    seen since November 2023 delivery was
    the highest you see in the last 3 3 and
    a half months coming to numbers vnb has
    fallen 26% year on-ear to rupees 776
    score we also seeing increase business
    from cable wire harness 2244
    so like yesterday right into that
    resistance Zone the last 5 years has
    seen uh you know significant change in
    the earnings across the board growth
    businesses which now account for 30% of
    India growing at 30% that would be the
    guidance Well for now the market is
    looking very good the Nifty is climbing
    by the minute the problem with Ean oxide
    is if it’s not treated
    properly remnant of it can stay in the
    product which is exactly what happened
    this time what highly placed sources
    within the government are telling us is
    that this should no point should be
    construed as access Spectrum which is
    traditionally auctioned looking good for
    the markets today we’re still below that
    22,500 Mark but a lot of individual
    Parts which are moving
    [Music]
    around well that’s the day so far it’s
    another good session overall for the
    market I have to say that we are coming
    to you live from the cvit TV8 M Studios
    this is closing B Prashant with me my
    colleague Su and Nigel guys hi good
    afternoon hi afternoon guys to both of
    you again screen that’s looking similar
    to yesterday where midcaps are doing
    better off the market breath is good and
    of course earnings reactions are getting
    you know either rewarded or completely
    sort of Cl clobbered whichever way
    things go no absolutely no no uh room
    for uh misses essentially it’s actually
    been good afternoons right I mean couple
    of afternoons we are going into the last
    St with the markets trading strong let’s
    see whether or not we can drive home the
    advantage the Nifty bank will be the key
    factor to track because the plays out
    the weekly expiry absolutely and I think
    for I think HDFC Bank more than anything
    else in a way holds the key because even
    yesterday the rest of the market was
    okay the rest of the Nifty Bank was okay
    it was only largely HDFC bank which was
    contributing to that pressure uh well 15
    1513 or so on that one just a quick uh
    three three four points on the state of
    the market uh so Nifty is now past all
    resistances I mean you know the 3850
    61.8 we are above that uh these are
    Fibonacci retracements a th000 point
    fall and we are as we speak in this
    resistance Zone which is on your screen
    22427 to
    22503 uh you take this out and then
    you’re looking at the all-time high at
    775 broader markets Bank Nifty beg paron
    just a quick word on that that is also
    by the way above the 61.8% retracement
    that was 48 uh
    48,1 uh 11 broader markets doing well
    0.6 to 0.8% gains across the board and
    if you you want to look at sectoral
    indices metals have come back into some
    Limelight action and we’ll talk more
    about that and psus are really sort of
    doing well so uh all kinds I mean all
    really sector agnostic as far as psus
    are concerned but that’s a space which
    is in the Limelight once again Su oh
    yeah absolutely PSU is doing well uh the
    bank Nifty is actually holding on to
    that gain of half a percent as well but
    all a lot of individual stock reactions
    that are sort of responding to earnings
    one way or the other the positive ones
    today include
    SED dlm 6% up on that stock nipon live
    just came out with numbers a while back
    and the street is liking what they’ve
    seen so for five and a half% up on nipon
    life as well uh on the flip side you’ve
    got a Tata LXI that’s still nursing
    those losses of about 4 to 5% there’s a
    361 again positive results and the
    Market’s liking it so it’s all very very
    event driven and earnings driven
    triggers driven uh so to speak but just
    to talk about some of the psus which are
    sing which are shining bright and
    Standing Tall today HL would be a case
    in point nmdc sale uh there’s mrpl which
    is up about 9% right now so basically on
    the PSU side of the market is thriving
    as has been the case on most days Nel
    well that’s right and the metal stocks
    as well are firing away and we’ll get to
    Quick analysis on that front for the
    time being let’s find out how do you
    trade the final hour of trade you have
    mes takar who’s with us well mesh good
    session BB say we’re not able to take
    out the 22,500 odd Mark we’re going very
    very close to that it seems we’re in a
    bit of a band uh how would you trade it
    closer to around
    22,400
    um I think you know um the the major
    problem here is uh the nonability to get
    past 2 to 500 the rest of the pack the
    rest of the situation is very very
    positive I think it’s only the uh index
    you know which is showing some signs of
    worry my belief is that I think you know
    overall this is not a bad Market but
    since the index has got a resistance
    point which it’s respecting I think the
    idea should be to you know um avoid the
    index and look for opportunities
    elsewhere the broader Market in the
    breadth is definitely showing uh
    amazingly good traction so in that sense
    I think you know that’s a plus Point uh
    having said that I would also you know
    want to recommend to metal stocks I
    think you were just discussing the metal
    names and I think you know that’s the
    sector which is buzzing very strongly
    that could do well and I have a buy on
    NM DC with a stop at 240 for targets of
    260 and hindalco is the other one which
    I would recommend buying keep a stop
    just below levels of 617 616 here and
    look for a target of
    660 okay all right couple of metal
    stocks there technically looking good
    thanks mes for that well let’s welcome
    prakash tan into the show hi prakash
    good afternoon and good to see you when
    prakash I wanted to uh you know get your
    view on the metal space but for the time
    being let me just take the viewers
    through why in fact the metal index is
    on fire today both fairest as well as
    non-f farest players they are rallying
    let’s address the Tailwinds first for
    the non-fair players the dollar Index
    cooled off the US and the UK well they
    have imposed restrictions on Russian
    metal trading on exchanges now we have
    copper aluminium zinc prices all of them
    are at multi-month highs as Supply
    concerns persist there’s also potential
    higher demand that is expected from
    sectors across EVS as well as
    infrastructure
    but what’s working for Ferris names then
    you know the Singapore May irono Futures
    they have jumped up to around $118 per
    ton earlier this month it was sub $100
    per ton so that’s one big factor and the
    key reason for today’s bounds is that
    the fourth largest irono Mina that’s
    fusu they have missed the guidance for
    the past quarter they’ve also trimmed
    down on the outlook for annual shipments
    now key beneficiary to higher irono
    prices will be nmdc while domestic FIS
    players well they’re better players on
    Rising iono prices and let me explain
    this in further detail why are domestic
    players well placed when iono prices are
    moving up sale and Tata steel they’re
    backward integrated so all the io is
    coming from captive sources jspl as well
    as jsw steel they’re partly integrated
    now along with better availability
    there’s also ion no pricing Advantage
    here in India steel spreads could also
    get a bit of a booster shot there are
    reports that suggest steel price hikes
    are being pushed through cooking coal
    cost well they’re much lower than what
    we saw in the previous quarter on an
    average average that’s quarter 3 it was
    more than $300 per ton now it’s hovering
    around $250 per ton and expectations are
    that China’s production would be limited
    exports will reduce in the second half
    of this calendar year with the marginal
    Improvement in demand that’s expected in
    China which will be positive for the
    steel sector on the whole well the other
    stocks that are in Focus include Mo
    there are expectations that price hikes
    could come about because Global
    manganese o prices have spiked up owing
    to the disruption in the Australian mine
    while infa as well is holding
    because chomore prices have moved up
    which will support feroc Chrome and infa
    is backward integrated with chomore so
    that’s the brief analysis on why feris
    non feris and a couple of these plays
    you know on the old front the mining
    front all of them are doing well prash U
    you know that’s a brief analysis with
    regard to the metal stocks moving up
    what do you make of it though they’re
    moving on momentum you know I look at
    the valuation chart and that’s why I’ve
    not really put it up because they’re
    trading at a premium in comparison to
    those valuations so clearly the street
    is playing momentum they believe there’s
    a big metal cycle bull cycle in store
    are you on
    board so Nigel I think you’re right the
    momentum stems from more from a Global
    Perspective uh you know very clearly the
    Genesis is more from the global
    commodity Up Cycle that’s underway and
    usually these Cycles do last quite some
    time okay so the at least two quarters
    is what you need to give it before uh
    some sort of of normalization happens uh
    you know the nonfer metals had already
    started showing that sign and we
    discussed this when you brought up nalco
    we spoke about nalco and vanta being
    absolutely in the right spot uh and and
    they you know I’m sure invested rewarded
    IND Alco Post Its last number earnings
    call is actually moved up more than 120
    bucks uh which is in less than three
    months right so that’s the kind of move
    that you have but this round if you
    really want to play with elevated
    valuations
    uh I I would believe you straight away
    go to the or companies nmdc of course
    has its own share of benefits and
    salience that’s working in its favor but
    my favorite has been Mo and look at look
    at where it’s touched today it’s made an
    all-time high of 47 right I mean it I
    mean was sometime during the day it’s
    not maybe right now at that level but
    given the fact that the kind of
    replacement cost that you could
    attribute to a business like this which
    almost like a
    monopoly there’s an or that is going to
    be in demand given various usage you
    know applications I don’t see any reason
    why you will not see the momentum
    continue and remember it hasn’t
    participated uh you know as much as some
    of the other well-known well discovered
    metal names are or derivative names are
    the mo has that you know the rally has
    more legs and and from 300 zones we’ve
    already seen 30% of an upside in the
    very short period of time but I still
    feel uh it’s it’s got some more to go so
    look at structural changes which are
    helping some of these companies and I
    would believe steel would probably you
    know be shortlived but the nonfer metal
    names the larger names will probably
    continue doing well and mo particularly
    stands out with its own share of
    benefits as the
    EXP okay so that’s a view on metals that
    prakash is taking by the way I just want
    to point out eoda small Finance Bank it
    sold off about 2 and a half% after the
    numbers came in and that’s because of
    slight asset quality issues the gross NP
    has gone up quarter on quarter um and
    the absolute terms also the NPA levels
    are higher the gross NPA is now at
    2.6% versus 2.5% and in absolute terms
    the number of or the absolute sort of
    quantum of bad loans that’s increased
    quarter on quarter is about 9 and a
    half% and the street obviously is sort
    of not too happy with that otherwise U
    numbers were okay but prash good
    afternoon talking about numbers we’ve
    got some sharp reactions today Tata LXE
    down Tata consumer down scient dlm
    people have really liked
    uh and then there’s MCX as well I mean
    where at least a lot of those operating
    costs have come under come under control
    now that they’ve migrated to the TCS
    platform but any of the interesting ones
    you care to give us your
    views uh good afternoon s so you know
    very clearly if you if you look at uh
    some of the disappoined numbers uh and
    and that’s where the opportunity always
    arises people had too much of an
    expectation pencell into T consumer
    numbers tataa consumer has been doing
    all the right things in terms of uh
    expanding the product white labeling so
    many of their own products and given the
    kind of you know expansion of the
    product portfolio it is bound to have a
    phase where it’s it’s going to take a
    pause it’s it’s not going to keep on
    growing at a you know scotching case but
    you you also have to understand that
    this is the company that has transformed
    itself in the last couple of years and
    the interview with the management very
    clearly tells you the new levers that
    they working upon and and it might take
    some time maybe a couple of quarters for
    that to happen but it will probably get
    into a very high growth trajectory post
    those two quarters and I think overall
    if you see the consumption the Staples
    and the discretionary uh the non-
    discretionary consumption pattern it’s
    still not picked up maybe post Monsoon
    you’ll probably see that and a lot of
    spending that happens around the
    election campaigns will also start
    percolating down into spend in some of
    these product categories but you’ll have
    to give it some time I I don’t think the
    H the consumers the ders of the world
    have yet woken up from that Slumber that
    we’ve seen uh but at some point the the
    sector rotation in the market uh and and
    this happens every time the market is at
    close to New highs right so people keep
    looking for newer themes newer ideas
    newer triggers and that’s that’s when
    some of these will start kind of playing
    catch up very ferociously so I would
    believe you know the disappointment in
    the tataa consumer numbers is is a bad
    it’s about overdone you’ll probably see
    some sort of normalizing happening and
    and and that’s an opportunity for people
    who don’t own it to add up into the
    portfolio uh got that prakash you know
    you want to listen into the next one as
    well because this perhaps uh is has also
    got implications for Resource company
    coal India is what I’m talking about now
    sources tell CNBC AAS that the coal
    ministry’s internal reports are raising
    demand concerns uh see lakman Roy is
    here with the with the details now
    lakman what we’re talking about is
    demand of take concerns for coal India
    not for coal itself because I mean of
    course we still building out thermal
    power plants but the off take from coal
    India perhaps uh in some of these
    internal assessments of coal India
    coming under a bit of uh Cloud take us
    through what you’re picking up

    fin2 43
    thank you very much lakman for joining
    in and giving us all of those details
    well prash I wanted your word coming in
    on this you know coal India people had
    concerns with regard to the ESG concerns
    that got brushed aside the stock from
    150 went to around 450 in the near term
    the Big Driver is going to be the
    premium of the e auction sales to FSA as
    of now going by lakman story you know
    it’s if in case that does make place and
    demand Falls drastically then obviously
    it’s curtain down for coal India but the
    stock price is not really corrected so
    the street is still factoring in that
    coal will still be in demand what’s your
    take at on this 445 and how big a fear
    is it for coal India
    shareholders so very very interesting
    debate this is going to trigger actually
    Nigel and I’m sure you you’ll have lots
    to speak on this in the days to come
    uh uh let’s let’s understand what he’s
    talking about is not cold demand coming
    down it is the contribution from coal
    India to the overall demand in the
    nation that’s going to be a shift that’s
    going to see a little bit of a shift the
    reason why the co India stock does not
    get impacted or is not showing any
    negative reaction to this anticipated
    slowdown is it’s still available at just
    about 2ak 75,000 CR market cap which
    bases 12 months TTM kind of number
    numbers is is still less than 10 times P
    multiple you don’t have any energy stock
    which is into the primary energy source
    of this scale globally that would be
    available at such low valuations U so so
    there’s very clear valuation comfort and
    what drives a stock price is more of
    earnings if the profitability continues
    to be better and and they become much
    more efficient with the kind of
    investment that they are making in the
    entire value chain I don’t see any
    reason why you know the P multiples
    would not expand in fact so on an
    absolute basis it could be a drop in
    Revenue but as he said you know the
    sliver and and the Joker in the pack not
    just a sliver is going to be the CBM the
    the coal based mean projects that are
    likely to start seeing fru so you know I
    I don’t see any reason why Co India’s
    contribution to certain other things
    won’t grow while this there’s a let up
    in in in in the demand uh as a
    replacement from captive mins because
    it’s more steel companies cement
    companies which are looking at captive
    usage consumption of coal in power as as
    a sector I don’t think is going to come
    down given that we have huge targets and
    Renewables will have its own pace of
    contribution to make up for the
    shortfall SO gas will come in wind and
    solar will come in but coal does have
    its role to play and and as I said there
    could be other things that could open up
    for them and that’s what the market will
    kind of definitely start visualizing so
    I don’t see any reason why Co India you
    should be disappointed with the
    performing in fact you’ll continue
    seeing uh this rally forward and
    outperform the Market because growth
    rates are far more the anticipated
    growth rates are far more if you look at
    the con he the con calls you’ll see what
    they’re talking about I don’t see any
    disappointment from from the stock price
    atast yeah absolutely it’s been a at
    least 100% gain in just the last 12
    months triple four on Co India today
    it’s been a dream move for this once
    unloved stock um prash on we’ll have
    some more questions let’s focus on the
    Nifty winner now and spla is the one
    that’s charging ahead a gain of 3 three
    and a half% in wtech has initiated
    coverage on the stock they have a target
    of about, 1550 stock is at, 1400 right
    now so they’re still expecting at least
    10% upside let’s go across to aa aa what
    is making investtech uh you know quite
    confident and bullish on on Sia well yes
    top gain on the Nifty this afternoon uh
    investech is bullish they have initiated
    a long fast in zla they believe that the
    10% fall from the 52 week high is likely
    due to the anticipation of amn’s entry
    into the drug alol which is an inh drug
    in their portfolio and a likely weak Q4
    due to a muted India now amneal’s entry
    could happen soon according to um uh
    according to the note and SAS dependence
    however on the drug is low so alol for
    example is around 7% of the FI 24 beta
    the impact on the EPS is likely to be
    low even with the entry of a new player
    we see the possibility of upgrades for
    f524 and 26 this is as spla delivers on
    key pipeline of drugs so they have for
    example multiple dep ties adver generic
    a breaks on generic in their portfolio
    us generics macro which continues to
    improve when it comes to valuation
    suppli trading at around 20 times fi 26
    estimated PE versus their SE sector
    coverage at 26 times and domestic
    branded Focus names at around 32
    times okay got that thanks very much AA
    for that prakash Sia any
    interest oh absolutely I think it’s one
    the top lunch companies in the farmer
    space um all the mistakes of the past
    have kind of got obliterated in in in
    terms of you know all the new launches
    that they’ve done so successfully and
    the respiratory portfolio still holds
    way over a very margin accretive segment
    so I I don’t see any reason why uh there
    could be this of course there this
    corporate action which is still awaited
    some sort of an outcome is expected in
    terms of finding who uh is the likely
    suitter for Supply but apart from that
    you know the general Tailwinds that have
    been there we’ve witnessed in the last 6
    months for Pharma will continue to
    translate into very strong headwinds
    should be all the large companies where
    be it Lupin be it sun farma Sia redy all
    of them are getting into a reset because
    of the stock balance sheets that they
    have I think it’s a cycle that’s turning
    very favorable spla of course is one of
    the well-run companies but don’t expect
    it to outperform the sector because uh
    they the company usually does not
    have okay I think we lost the line there
    uh just even as prash was
    talking prakash we leave you we we leave
    it there for now if you can hear me
    thank you very much for joining us uh
    it’s a pleasure having you and speaking
    with you as always uh the market I think
    is up about 45 points which means it’s
    off the highs by quite a bit uh 22,400
    though still holding on to it’s quiet
    and this is a point that we’ve been
    making for the last couple of days that
    maybe into this resistance Zone uh and
    just look looking at the overall setup I
    mean us has been recovering Etc but uh
    you know it’s U some the other parts are
    not moving equities have moved up in the
    US last two days a percent each uh but
    generally otherwise uh it’s been a bit
    quiet at least in the index that is we
    take a break we’re back with Adit
    portfolio manager at incred PMS on the
    other side stay tuned
    [Music]
    [Music]
    [Music]
    welcome back well two of the big gainers
    actually yesterday are losing vone ideas
    moved to the low point of the day you
    have nbcc as well that’s slipped a
    little bit so both of them are seeing
    some bit of selling pressure let’s focus
    on Chennai petrol that stock is rallying
    after posting a good set of quo numbers
    Sona joins us to give us a quick
    analysis Sona well yes it is a good set
    posted by chenai petroleum on a quarter-
    on quarter basis we have seen a revenue
    growth of 2% the Abida has grown by 53%
    and margins they higher by around 200
    basis points to come at 5.88% profits
    also accordingly have seen a surge of
    72% now this was something which was
    expected because Singapore grm they
    improved on a quarteron quarter basis to
    come to levels of $7.9 per barrel and
    even Chennai petol grms this time around
    have come in similar to those level $7.7
    per barrel this Compares with the
    negative grn number that the company had
    reported in the quarter gone bu also
    remember this is the surge coming in
    after a low base that these companies or
    Standalone refiners saw in quarter 3 but
    if you look at the margins again uh they
    are of course better than quarter 3 but
    still lower than quarter 2 levels which
    saw exponentially High grms and as well
    uh what the street also likes is the
    fact that the company has gone ahead and
    announced a dividend of 55 rupees per
    share which means the dividend yield of
    5.2% and that’s why the street is
    cheering these uh these numbers and mrpl
    also is doing well on in trade on the
    back of good numbers coming in from
    Chennai
    petrol okay uh so thanks very much for
    that these I mean there’s no small moves
    for these names right Standalone
    refiners uh go big or go home that’s the
    Moto uh pretty much all the time around
    results or otherwise and uh you got mrpl
    and cpcl both now big sort of doing
    something really large as far as the
    price action goes our Alpha manager is
    adya Su portfolio manager at incred PMS
    ad good to have you with us here thanks
    very much for your time uh you know I
    think in our conversation earlier you
    had mentioned that you own Tes networks
    and you kind of sort of you said that
    you added onto that name uh stocks done
    very well we had the management with
    with us early on as well talking about
    uh you know the business
    opportunity how is it placed valuation
    wise just talk us through you know your
    thought process F525 is going to be
    another very large year because of
    execution of the remainder remainder of
    the BSNL contract that should be worth
    about 7,000 crores uh just that order
    f524 revenues were about 2400 crores
    your thoughts on this one
    ad sure so you know we have been fairly
    constructive on the Pro Prospects of you
    know
    manufacturing you know as a theme um and
    obviously Tes benefits um onto accounts
    one is the P bit um you know obviously
    they get 6% PL as a percentage of their
    overall incremental revenues and we have
    seen pla flowing through in the last
    quarter uh when uh very notable fact is
    that you know T just was under
    tremendous pressure for last four or
    five or multiple quarters on account of
    you know elevated semiconductor cost uh
    you know which is essentially a raw
    material for them and we have seen that
    normalize in this quarter um as far as
    the ramp up is concerned you know I
    think so it is a very well acknowledged
    fact by the street now that they have
    only executed 10% of what needs to be
    executed more importantly in terms of
    capability and that is where the key
    lies um you know uh they have been a
    very successful uh fixed line uh company
    Telecom equipment manufacturer but
    Wireless is something that they are
    doing for the first time and BSNL is a
    very large order now if you look at the
    spec of their tender you know 4G upgrade
    gradable to 5G over a period of time and
    what they’ have mentioned is that you
    know essentially 40% of the one lakh
    towers that are targeting would be
    upgradeable to 5G and then there is
    element of AMC cost as well all that
    with everything put together I think so
    there is a long rope in terms of you
    know the order backlog that they have
    order backlog has gone up 6X uh you know
    ever since uh the tatas have acquired
    the company more importantly this is
    about stepping up the wireless
    capability I think so the stock will do
    reasonably well it is a well
    acknowledged fact that possibly you know
    you are looking at next 6 to8 quarters
    execution to go through and
    profitability is going to be in the
    range of cumulative profits could be as
    high as you know 1,000 crores that is
    what our estimate
    is AD hi good afternoon great to have
    you on today you know I also recall from
    our last conversation you were telling
    us that you’re actually taking a
    favorable view on uh some of the fmcg
    names as well some of the the consumer
    names and now we’re running into the
    season I mean not to get stock specific
    but obviously Tata consumer flagged off
    some concerns because that’s a little
    more discretionary the beverage side of
    their portfolio and there the numbers
    were not as good as what the the street
    perhaps had in mind but uh what are what
    are the expectations that you’re going
    with I believe you’ve you added H if I
    remember correctly maybe even daber you
    have that in your
    portfolio yeah that’s correct uh you
    know one is that you know we have got
    this belief that you know if one one has
    to buy uh you know if one has to buy
    great companies and typically you know
    consumer has been a great story in India
    to be placed as a you know investor you
    have to buy them when there are
    headwinds in the sense that you know
    most of the multiple compression is
    behind you lot of the consumer
    categories depending upon you know
    whether we are focusing or or whether we
    are talking about you know consumer
    staples or low unit consumption here I
    think so we are already we have already
    seen six quarters of slowdown playing
    out at this juncture our view is that
    you know possibly you’ll see some
    Rebound in terms of volume growth there
    are early signs of that playing out
    there is some bit of respite with gold
    going up and with balance sheet repair
    which is going to you know obviously
    lead to you know respite for the rural
    consumer particularly uh also rural
    wages have you know just normalized in
    the the sense that they are back to the
    preo level so our view is that you know
    valuations are much more reasonable
    volume growth uh should do well and Any
    Which Way consumer is a defensive sector
    to be in with you know sector having
    massively underperformed for last 18 to
    24 months we believe that there is uh an
    opportunity to uh you know put allocate
    some money or to be overweight on low
    unit domestic consumption
    names okay all right hi Thea good
    afternoon and good to see you when uh
    what else do you like uh you know
    consumption at the lower end has slowed
    down but the upper end it’s uh you know
    everyone wants to consume a better brand
    whether they it’s in terms of apparel
    watches uh you know
    liquor whatever you refer to uh how are
    you all playing this theme of the luxury
    segment doing much
    better sure so you know we we have
    exposure and you know Arin fashion you
    know which we have
    recently invested into I think so as you
    rightly mentioned there are some
    categories wherein there is down trading
    happening but at the same time what we
    are function what we are witnessing is
    that you know there is up trading which
    is happening as well so we like Arin
    fashion and the space I think so they
    have got a very uh good franchise of
    Brands uh they have you know sort of
    whatever mistakes that they have done in
    the past in in the sense that you know
    they have you know done away with
    unlimited which was obviously they were
    losing money they have rationalized the
    brand portfolio we believe that the
    return on invested Capital can improve
    very sharply from here on the valuations
    are very very attractive um so we like
    you know luxury consumption also as a
    play the only thing is that you know if
    if you look at you know companies like
    for example Landmark
    um what what one has to be mindful is
    that you know lot of these luxury
    consumption businesses are cyclical so
    the first point that we would have to
    figure out is that you know when we are
    at the top end of the cycle and and the
    answer really lies is that you know
    whether you you want to allocate as a
    investor for next three years or
    possibly next 5 to seven years I think
    so luxury has a long way to go go and
    you know the way U it has been
    demonstrated in certain categories like
    including watches for example um you
    know I think so the uh the category has
    you know legs to it there is no doubt to
    it and this is the first time you know
    wherein we are experiencing larger
    luxury Players let’s say Louis Vuitton
    or or a Rolex taking a market like India
    very very seriously and that gets
    reflected in the footprint that they
    have in
    India since we’re on the subject and you
    mentioned Arin Fashions you know I must
    ask you about the adya Bera group’s own
    sort of moves in on this front right
    maybe they took a lesson from the tata’s
    books seeing what happened to Trent and
    now we have that business demerger you
    know getting along uh any thoughts I’m
    not asking for a stock recommend
    recomendation but just any thoughts on
    how this other B business conglomerate
    is now looking to unlock more value do
    you think that can happen and in terms
    of valuations I mean I don’t know was
    was Trent a very unique phenomena or do
    you think something like an arind
    fashion or even an ad you know Fashion
    retail it can actually scale up in a
    similar
    way so if you look at uh Sur essentially
    the evolution of West Side in this
    country right the key lies in you know
    how much is full price sales for a
    retailer so as as a Westside consumer
    you you always felt that you know
    possibly uh you never felt the need of
    having a discount if you walked into a
    west side and this then there was a fast
    fashion learning as far as Zara is
    concerned and this is what they have
    tried to implement in zudio U you know
    and obviously you know zudio has been a
    huge success uh for for for the adya
    group and that is why for the for Tatas
    essentially um so our view is that you
    know once you see full price sales going
    up in in any format and once you see
    right sizing of store you know footage
    area that becomes a very very powerful
    combination to consider in a retailer
    essentially so as far as more focus on
    you know productive Capital allocation
    is concerned and what we are seeing in
    the case of mudra that all those you
    know sort of moves are very very welcome
    as far as the market is concerned
    because essentially what we are trying
    to analyze as in investors is that you
    know how many brands are scale and
    subscale at the same time we also want
    to see sharper focus in terms of return
    on Capital employed when when you know
    large fashion house like AR fashion is
    you know allocating Capital because they
    will typically have you know multiple
    Brands so sharper focus is always
    welcome in terms of you know either the
    multiple reating or earnings growth
    potential okay all right uh a we leave
    it there thank you very much much for
    your time good speaking with you and uh
    appreciate you joining us here on CNBC
    TV8 today well I think uh the market is
    uh down 25 is up about 25 points which
    is it’s a long way off from where it was
    early on so it’s been a slow kind of a
    descent uh not a sharp one uh but it’s
    a slow but a sharp sort of fall from the
    high let me put it that way
    22391 is where we are at right now which
    basically means that we are almost back
    uh at the 61.8% retracement which is 6
    22394 so you’re right there uh let’s see
    what the close is like I mean doesn’t
    matter one or two days but the point is
    uh you know we said this at the start of
    the week slow steady kind of a move
    after what we’ve had especially last
    Friday perhaps is the most desirable
    kind of a thing so that’s what we have
    be I just wanted to add to that uh you
    know Prashant Cole India by the way I
    guess uh lakman putting out those
    concerns that are doing the rounds in
    the coal Ministry uh the stocks cooled
    off should uh yeah there we go so it’s
    now up about half a percent the concern
    being that once a lot of these captive
    mines go on full stream Full Throttle
    will demand of for coal from coal India
    itself whether that will go down or not
    that that was the story that he put out
    so you know we’ll have to uh see how
    exactly these captive mines do ramp up
    because some of these mines they came up
    for auctioning around 6 7even years ago
    as well there have been various phases
    of auctions as well in the past and some
    of those auctions didn’t get any biders
    so some of these companies yes that is a
    risk to them because if they start
    producing from their captive captive
    coal mines then obviously coal India’s
    demand goes down the other factor is if
    there is more amount of Renewable Power
    that comes to the table then that as
    well is another risk to Coal India so
    for the time being you know the stock is
    down half% as you said or thereabouts
    but if uh the worst fears come through
    then the stock should be down far more
    but at current valuations I think it’s
    getting some support and I guess since
    it’s been such a big party for all India
    I mean sometimes you get news and inputs
    and then people decide to take some
    money off the table so perhaps it’s just
    a little bit of that that’s playing out
    okay let’s quickly move on to D Street
    chatter we have NES joining in as always
    with all the insights from dealing Rooms
    Today NES again this is a session that’s
    looking very similar to yesterday
    because in the last one hour the Nifty
    started cooling off while the midcaps
    were doing better what are you picking
    up today well you know again uh looks
    like uh you know s there is a resistance
    on the Nifty around that 20 to 400 level
    Mark that happened yesterday as well and
    that’s playing out today’s in today’s
    market as well so a bit of cool off
    after the after the Gap up opening but
    from a flow perspective again it’s a
    strong day uh there is buying interest
    largely now into the midcaps midcap
    stocks as well the midcaps are well bid
    from a flow perspective in today’s
    market I guess the big sector of the day
    is Metals n Nigel explained a lot about
    the metal stocks buzzing trade but again
    you know the key factor is that there is
    such a strong Global manufacturing data
    which is coming out that’s been that’s
    been seen positive for the metal Lim a
    big move in that in that stock from a
    flow perspective from a sector one I
    guess Pharma is a sector which is well B
    in the in in today’s market so lot of
    farma STS are buzzing on on on cash B
    buying from larger affes but from from
    overall Market perspective looks like 24
    22400 is acting as a very strong
    resistance NES what about individual
    names well so the first stock on my list
    today is the delivery there was a large
    Block in pre-open today nearly 2 and a
    half% equity got change hand so I
    understand the private Equity investor
    was a seller and couple of large fi
    investors bought in today’s block deal
    so the disclosures could be quite
    interesting and delivery in today’s
    market so that’s the first one the
    second name is graphite that’s been
    buzzing off late it’s actually cooled
    off in in today’s market but there are
    very strong by flows I understand a
    leading hn investor he’s an active buyer
    as well in in graphite off late so
    that’s the second name the third name is
    HDFC life uh that’s been under pressure
    today larg and big big sell flow so
    expect very high delivery volumes in
    HDFC life in today’s market and the last
    is couple of cash stocks taga real and
    as well as Castrol both are seeing very
    strong delivery based buying in today’s
    market so look like some bit of you know
    fi interest is back in cash stocks and
    these two stand out in today’s market
    purely on buying interest from larger
    fi all right uh thanks very much nsh for
    that you know you mentioned HDFC life
    look at I life as well 3% lower on that
    one uh and look at Max Financial
    Services Max uh got a upgrade uh I think
    there was an upgrade from clsa
    initiation from ambid uh stock ended
    flat and today it is down about 3% or so
    so uh there is of course I thre of
    course reported numbers and uh HDFC life
    uh before that we’ll uh slip into a
    quick commercial break here we have a
    announcement to share with all of you

    welcome back you’re with us on closing
    bell and uh the market continues to cool
    off a little bit at the Nifty level uh
    just watching some stocks as of now the
    cut on Tara consumer is a little deeper
    5 and a half% gone from that stock no
    sign of recovery and then you have a
    couple of giants like uh TCS and infosis
    from the large cap it space and and
    Reliance so together the this Trio is
    enough to put pressure on the market
    days low on TCS as well over there
    playing out okay so that’s the large cap
    space let’s move on we have some updates
    coming in on ubl as well that’s one
    stock that’s moved higher after hanekin
    releases uh its update for the January
    to March quarter so what is hanin’s
    first quarter calendar year 24 update
    saying let’s ask sashan sashan so uh is
    consumption beer consumption picking up
    in India is hin happy with how their
    India Ops are doing I can’t say that but
    I can say that ubl is currently up 10%
    and almost the entire gains have come
    since the time we have highlighted about
    hanin’s q1 update and in its update
    hankin says that India business beer
    volume growth has come in low teens now
    it’s important for ubl because ubl with
    its Q3 earnings it said it sees mid to
    high single digit volume growth so
    hanin’s volume growth has come in higher
    than U’s guidance that company had given
    for Q4 and just if you look at the last
    three quter volume growth in q1 FY 24
    U’s volume had fallen 12% in Q2 it was
    up 7% and in Q3 it was up 8% so if it
    comes in low team it would be higher
    than the last three quarters that
    company has seen and also hen says
    premium portfolio volume has growth in
    low 20s and it was led by King Fisher
    Ultra and henen
    silver okay all right got that thanks
    very much I wonder which of you three
    gentlemen have contributed I know I
    haven’t but I I don’t know which are the
    the other three gentlemen on TV with me
    today I think sashan is sashan he has he
    has the widest grin I think Sudan’s The
    Man He’s Downing the
    beers I’ll tell you one more data point
    you know today uh United Beauty’s market
    capitalization has cross 50,000 cres
    post this big move so that’s another
    highlight but consumption keeping a
    close eye on
    I mean with on all formats of
    consumption with this sort of heat
    uh you don’t need any additional
    triggers okay guys let’s bring it back
    home thanks sash by the way beers are
    not hydrating I mean it dehydrates you
    important to keep the science of it in
    mind as well but let’s uh quickly move
    on and go back to mes for some final
    trades before the day closes over mes
    you tell us I don’t know if UB is on
    your radar or not but uh any of the
    stocks that may look interesting
    I miss U today but uh what I’ve got or
    what I’ve suggest is glenark Pharma I
    think that’s closing in the day high so
    btst here with a stop at 1063 and a
    target of
    1090 and gas Authority Gil is looking
    good as well so btst here with a stop at
    206 and we will look for a target of
    around 210
    210 okay uh thanks very much mes for
    that well axis bank will be reporting
    numbers later today postmarket hours
    abishek is here with were the key
    expectations from this one abishek take
    it away uh well prashan street is
    anticipating the slowest ni growth rate
    on a YY basis in last 10 quarters so the
    key things to watch is that sequentially
    analysts are expecting deposit growth to
    outp L growth so deposit growth as per
    analyst estimate is at 6% while L growth
    is estimated at 4% what could keep the
    net interest margin on the healthier
    side analysts are saying that Lan growth
    will largely be led by High uh you know
    yelding retail loans or the unsecured
    portion loans uh net interest margin can
    come under pressure Morgan Stanley is
    estimating a 30 basis point decline Yi
    in net interest margin and about nine
    basis point decline on a sequential
    basis uh so slippages can D on a
    sequential basis now KK Securities
    estimate slippages of 4,300 CR invest
    Tech at 4,000 CR which was about 3,715
    CR in the previous quarter for access
    bank so slippages can rise but asset
    quality will largely remain stable MOA
    losal expects gross NP ratio and net NP
    ratio to be flat on a sequential basis
    near term growth Outlook and the net
    interest margin progress would be the
    key thing to watch from the management
    commentary our poll suggest an a growth
    of 9% Yi and about 2.2% sequentially we
    are working with a profit of 6,27 crores
    this compares to a loss of 5,728 CR in
    the same quarter last year and it will
    be up 2.2% on a sequential basis back to
    you
    okay all right got that thanks very much
    abish we’ll watch out for those numbers
    we’ll be out after market hours mayores
    ji head of equity research at William
    O’Neal is with us May thank you for
    joining in uh you know I want to talk to
    you about a large midcap stock which was
    once the market darling Tata Alexi we
    all know numbers today disappointed but
    uh any sort of wider view on this it’s
    cooled off significantly I was looking
    at the you know 2-year highs I mean the
    stock was quoting above 10,000 at one
    point in one point in time it was a much
    loved play in a lot of portfolios but
    quite seems to quite a lot seems to have
    changed since then your view afternoon
    Sur no you’re absolutely right I think
    from the Peaks a few months back it has
    corrected quite significantly and the
    numbers that came in yesterday uh were
    soft so there is no two ways about it so
    the expectations of uh Market
    participants in terms of recovery
    specifically the R&D space within the
    midcap it companies I think this is one
    hot space where a lot of analysts are of
    the belief that as Mobility picks up
    quite significantly uh and as the
    content per car starts going higher
    across geographies companies like Tata
    Alexi should probably benefit but I
    think the numbers have been soft and
    that’s the kind of reaction that you
    probably seen the other end of the
    spectrum would be it’s p kpit tech as an
    example has done exceedingly well now if
    you go by every passing quarter and the
    commentary thereof numbers seem very
    very encouraging the kind of tie-ups
    that they have done the order book that
    they have setting out of the management
    confidence that theyed out of in terms
    of the margin performance itself and
    expectations of maintaining this over
    the next few quarters is probably
    justifying the premium valuations and
    the move uh that kpit had the
    outperformance thereof with Tata Alexi
    as well so to a certain extent I think
    ERD the space I think two spectrums that
    you’re probably seeing Tata Alexi is
    clearly uh disappointing in terms of
    numbers expectations kpit is probably uh
    satisfying at least Le till last quarter
    how the number Stack Up is proberbly
    happening uh so I think pick and choose
    I think at this juncture but kpit
    valuations on the head set and momentum
    is a little bit too much for
    Comfort okay all right uh hi maish good
    afternoon what about uh AIS Logistics uh
    do you track that company the stock is
    seeing a big big move I understand flows
    as well are quite strong it’s moved to
    the high point of the day any view out
    there afternoon Nigel in fact I’m just
    going through that in the morning itself
    and both their divisions have done
    surprisingly well 9 months f24 so their
    gas division and their liquid division
    have posted the highest AA uh in in the
    company’s history again the expansion
    plans Nigel that they’re going through
    specifically I think the liquid storage
    if I’m not mistaken they’ll come close
    to around 1.9
    1.95 million kilers as well as the gas
    division which they’re probably
    expanding in both pipa and mangor uh
    close to 1 lak 125,000 metric tons I
    think all these capacities as they start
    coming on stream and the expectations in
    terms of the sourcing that they also do
    in terms of their gas requirements the
    margin profile uh is expected to remain
    extremely stable now with more
    capacities coming up and the incremental
    capaity which will start adding to the
    overall volume growth in the next few
    quarters uh I think that should drive
    strong profitable growth as well across
    the divisions so both liquids and gas
    should probably have that and therefore
    I think the entire perspective that one
    brings out in terms of eps growth should
    be pretty solid so yeah I think the move
    is probably getting backed by numbers at
    this
    juncture okay uh also waiting lever
    numbers we should just pull up the uh
    the poll Graphics the poll that mangum’s
    drawn up for us uh because we are
    expecting again sort of pretty flattish
    Trends uh with respect to uh the
    expectations this time around maybe sort
    of low single digit growth in terms of
    volumes let leave her very choppy and
    flat right now uh do have to take a
    quick break we’ll come back and discuss
    of course the prospects for this talk
    and several others we will be in our
    last leg on closing Bel today well
    here’s a special programming note and do
    keep this in mind our special Friday

    welcome back so I was U talking about
    lever the expectations are that there
    will be about a 2 to 3% volume growth
    this is Mam’s poll that he’s put
    together marish very quickly you know
    this sector has been left out in the
    doldrums for a long long time do you see
    Q4 pointing towards any recovery and
    what’s your current weight on it I mean
    allocation weight to
    fmcg we are neutral uh Sur and I think
    the reasoning is pretty simple uh our
    belief is that numbers across the space
    Alit one or two instances which might be
    outliers will still be soft a large part
    of the volume growth on the fmcg market
    comes from rural India and roal India is
    clearly struggling at this juncture you
    had seen deficient monsoons last year
    the discretionary spending has come down
    and therefore a huge bulk in terms of
    rural discretionary spending will
    reflect in lower volumes now is there a
    genuine recovery that one expects uh
    again it’s a twofold answer one I think
    in expectations of a normalized monsoon
    this time around if that takes place and
    fingers cross it does you will see a
    good sharp recovery happening in terms
    of rural incomes in the second half of
    this calendar year and therefore an
    Earnest recovery from quarter 2 quarter
    3 onwards for a whole host of fmcg
    companies the other aspect obviously is
    that volumes have also remain tled in
    terms of either increase gramage that
    these companies have done and in spite
    of input cost increases which have now
    stabilized to a certain extent the pass
    through was not very very evident so
    both volume and value is something which
    will be lagging in most of fmcg
    companies valuations are Sky High again
    it’s a defensive sector where Market
    becomes volti but our take is q1 onwards
    I think you will see some element of
    positive commentary leading to a better
    reating in the
    second okay Mish you know talking about
    fmcg lever should be reporting anytime
    now right mangalam is here for last
    Quick preview key expectations mangalam
    over to
    you that’s correct you know so I’m at
    the uni office results should be out
    anytime the next 15 to 20 minutes or so
    as the management preps to address the
    media a couple of things that the street
    is working with this time around most
    importantly not much has changed in the
    macro situation right now um rural is
    still slower than Urban and at the same
    time the companies are taking price cuts
    to propel volume growth so net net
    volume growth and price Cuts will offset
    each other resulting in flattish sort of
    Revenue growth itself for uni in
    particular the street is working with 2
    to 3% volume growth uh minus 2% price
    cuts that the company’s given uh 150 to
    200 basis points gross margin
    Improvement because of raw material
    benign raw material en
    but importantly higher ad spends for uni
    Li along with you know royalty and
    expiration of the deal that they had
    with GSK will impact their eitaa so net
    net we’re expecting a flattish sort of
    Revenue performance 14,850 cross on the
    top line eitaa down by about a% 3400 and
    uh we’re looking at margins at around
    23% with a net profit down about 4 and a
    half% importantly apart from the
    quantitative numbers that the company
    reports this time around one will be
    looking at management commentary on
    demand going forward especially because
    you know we’re speaking ahead of general
    elections noral Monsoon is the
    prediction so is there any Improvement
    expected in the very near future is
    something that the street will be
    looking at largely because the stock has
    been an underperformer uh over the last
    four years or so it has given virtually
    uh no nil returns and is trading at
    around 46 times so is not at a big
    premium to its historical valuations as
    well okay all right manglam thanks a lot
    for that well I think we have may still
    with us may very quickly if you could
    tell us about the cement pack we have
    Dal Barat that will be reporting its set
    of numbers you know post Market hours
    the numbers ain’t expected to be good
    and the intraday drop is telling you
    that as well how do you expect uh the
    stock to
    perform I think we’ll have to wait and
    watch for numbers Nigel to be very
    honest and the expectation largely for
    the industry as a whole is utilization
    levels expected to pick up in the coming
    few quarters uh a large element in terms
    of input costs have largely stabilized
    at this juncture you have sporadically
    heard of heard of some price hies that
    have been taken in some key regions and
    therefore the expectations of an
    improvement in terms of a reported AIT
    per ton across the space is something
    that is to be watched out for obviously
    the stocks that we have got on our watch
    list within the adani PAC ACC is
    something that we believe can report a
    decent set of numbers uh and JK cement
    within the midcap cement space where the
    white cement realization should be
    better off numbers have been extreme
    good so far in terms of both margin
    performance and an absolute EV and that
    performance should continue I think
    you’re being a little bit more Choy
    Nigel ACC from the large capap midcap
    space
    JK okay all right May thanks very much
    for being with us today appreciate you
    giving us all that perspective we are
    down to the last minute minute and a
    half of today’s trading session and once
    again it’s been a session that’s all
    about midcaps by the way interesting
    thing look at the midcap index which is
    up about 710 of perc but the small cap
    index is not up as much and this is a
    marked difference

    Stocks trade firm and steady in a rangebound session. #Metals and #industrials are the big gainers, while #telecom and #IT are the soft spots. #Midcaps are the relative outperformers.
